SB574

Senate Bill 574 mandates that any municipality in Arkansas operating a waterworks or sewage system must provide service to county-owned property located within that municipality's borders upon the request of the county judge. The bill stipulates that the requesting county is responsible for all connection costs associated with accessing these systems. Furthermore, the county must pay for the ongoing services at the same rates applicable to other customers of the municipal utility. This legislation essentially ensures that county government facilities have guaranteed access to municipal water and sewer infrastructure, provided the county covers the associated expenses.
